I"m confused with sizing, please help.

So my fixie now is a Langster, sloping geometry. I want to get a more classic steel frame, leaning toward a SE Lager. I seem to be very confused on sizes though. My inseam using the book in the crotch trick is 32". My Langster, and my Tarmac, and my CAAD 8 are all 58cm frames. So get a 58cm right? Jenson lists the standover of a 58cm as 32.3", so I would have to tippy toe it. If I go to a 56cm it is 31.5", still a close call. Should I just deal with it? I mean I don't ride the thing standing over it, and I am guessing the lack of standover is due to lack of sloping top tube? Anyone with some advice here?
